Sonnet Six

Not breathing is a moment given.
A miracle, I could not breath for five
minutes, as they skated into Eden,
Torvill, Dean, and Ravel revived,
in Bolero. Three people became one
unknowingly united, like an atom,
how our earth appears to the sun,
in creating we succumb.
A Russian dancer, Ida Rubinstein,
commissioned Ravel.  He, gifted, wrote
this Spanish dance, designed blind
to British Torvill and Dean's remote
graceful flowing dance of love, ostinato
and melody, flying forever at Sarajevo.
